Is Hillary Clinton fueling Donald Trumps surge? The answer is most likely YES, but not in the way that you think.
According to Salon.com, Hillary Clintons presidential campaign is energizing the emasculated, anti-woman wing of the Republican Party, and those men are flocking to unapologetic misogynist Donald Trump.

They picture themselves doing laundry, vacuuming and watching TV until it's time to fix dinner for 'The Man Of The House' ®[font size=1]GOP[/font].

(9,350 posts)I think the rise of Donald Trump has more to do with the fact that President Obama is a black person in the White House and the increasing numbers of Latinos in America. Recently, Trump's two biggest claims to fame have been his questioning of President Obama's birth place and his claims that illegal immigrants are criminals and that he will deport all of the 11 million illegal immigrants living in America. I am not sure Trump has made many negatives statements about Hillary Clinton that are based on her being a woman. However, he has made a number of racist statements about President Obama.

Trump is running on his own money. He is pointing out that both Parties have failed the American workers because the politicians are bought and paid for by special interest. Anyone who runs against Hillary is a misogynist. Just as Obama was accused of in 2008.
